Logic Backup Power

• A 24VDC power supply can be connected to the 24VDC input on the integral hp ClearPath models to provide logic power backup. This way, the motors retain encoder position and communication ability when AC bus power is removed (e.g. during E-stop). This avoids the need to re-home.
• See the video or the ClearPath user manual appendix for how to properly size your 24 volt logic power supply.

AC Power Cable

• This user-supplied cable connects the integral hp ClearPath models to an AC power source (100-240 VAC single-phase or 3-phase; 300-430 VAC for 5-wire systems).
• This 12-14 AWG wiring terminates at your ClearPath motor into a universal screw terminal block.

*Please review AC-input ClearPath manual for wiring instructions

Controller Cable

• This cable connects your control signals to the ClearPath motor.
• The controller cable requires an 8-pin Molex Mini-fit connector on the ClearPath end.
• The cable can be purchased from Teknic or can be easily made with the proper materials and crimp tools.

ClearPath MSP Software

• This "Motor Setup Program" software is used for initial ClearPath setup and diagnostics.
• After initial setup, the motor is disconnected during application operation (but you can also use MSP for diagnostics and troubleshooting during application operation).
• You can download MSP from Teknic for free.

4-Axis SC Hub/h1>

Used with ClearPath MSP software for initial setup and then disconnected. ClearPath MSP is a free download from Teknic and runs on Windows Vista, XP and Windows 7.

USB Setup Cable

• This USB cable connects the ClearPath motor to a Windows PC for initial setup using the ClearPath MSP (Motor Setup Program) software.
• After initial setup, the cable is disconnected for application operation (but can also be used for diagnostic purposes).
• The connectors are USB A to B.
• This cable can be purchased from Teknic or third parties. If you use a third-party cable, make sure to use a “fully rated” cable (shielded and designed for high-speed data communication).

DC Power Cable

Connects your power supply (or your Power Hub power distribution board) to your ClearPath motor. A 4-pin Molex Mini-fit connector is required on the ClearPath end, and a 2-pin Sabre connector on the other end if you’re using the Power Hub or a Teknic IPC power supply. You can easily make this cable if you have the proper materials and crimp tools, or you can buy one from Teknic.

4-axis Power Hub

Distributes DC bus power to up to four ClearPath motors. Requires 24 volt power to operate (in addition to bus power). The Power Hub also acts as logic power backup for the motors, i.e., the motors will still retain encoder position and communication ability even with bus power removed (for safety during an E-stop, for example).

DC Power Cable

Connects your bus power supply to the optional Power Hub power distribution board. A 2-pin Sabre connector is required on both ends if you are using a Teknic IPC power supply. You can easily make this cable if you have the proper materials and crimp tools, or you can buy one from Teknic.

Step and Direction Indexer

• ClearPath-SD requires a third-party step and direction controller.

24V Power Cable

• This cable connects user-supplied 24VDC logic backup power to the ClearPath motor.
• The motor uses a 2-pin Molex Mini-fit connector.
• The cable can be purchased from Teknic or can be easily made with the proper materials and crimp tools.

RES-225 & BLOWER-1P230V (optional)

• For applications that cause significant regenerated energy (e.g., vertical axes, and inertial loads decelerated quickly), the regenerated energy dissipation unit can be used to monitor and manage your motor's regenerative energy. It provides up to 250W of continuous energy dissipation.
• The blower kit (AC powered fan and shroud) provides a significant increase in continuous torque for certain AC-input ClearPath motors. (ClearPath part numbers with “_Fan” show the increased capability.)
